"In a programme first broadcast on Radio 1 in 1994, the great Canadian singer / songwriter Leonard Cohen, who died this week, looks back on his life and work. Including contributions from Jennifer Warnes and Suzanne Vega."

Last night I watched a tribute to Leonard here in Australia on ABC2 TV with the I'm Your Man documentary.
It features artists in the Came So Far For Beauty concert at the Sydney Opera House in 2005 and LC and other artists at the Slipper Room, New York City.

I have this DVD and have watched it many times but saw it in a different light last night....

Friends, there is an online radio-station; dylanradio.com; fans can ask for tunes there.
Yesterday - i.e. last weeks friday over here in old europe- it was - completely unusal - all Leonhard Cohen´s songs.
The "Lenny-effect"?

***Yesterday I found out there is a street named Leonard Cohen Street in Beer Sheva (Beersheba) ..not alot of information on the internet so I can't link it to our specific Cohen , but if I will be able to confirm the connection I will write more about it , there seems to be a very interesting story around it.

Words from B. Netanyahu, Prime Minister https://www.facebook.com/Netanyahu/?fref=ts
לאונרד כהן היה יוצר ענק, אמן מוכשר ויהודי חם שאהב את עם ישראל ומדינת ישראל. לא אשכח איך הגיע לכאן במלחמת יום הכיפורים כדי לשיר לחיילי צה״ל, מתוך תחושה עמוקה של שותפות. קולו הנוגע ימשיך ללוות אותנו, כמו גם תפילתו ״הללויה״. יהי זכרו ברוך.
Leonard Cohen was a great creator, a talented artist, and a warm Jew, who loved the people of Israel and the state of Israel. I will not forget how he came to Israel during the Yom Kippur War in order to sing to IDF soldiers, out of a deep feeling of partnership. His touching voice will continue to accompany us, like his prayer "Hallelujah". May his memory be a blessing.
